Cm Punk will debut the New WWE Championship belt design any day now.
This is the problem with WWE.
As Triple H says: "The title doesn't make the man. The man makes the title"
WWE crowds who are Cena/Rock fans won't accept Punk/Ziggler as champions. Sad state of the WWE.
They book as if the WWE title means more, so I just take it as is. There's no separate brands anymore, so you often see the World Champion appear on the RAW show where the WWE Champion is always settled. But really, they need to be unified. The rosters are small enough.
It has been a few times since the brand split. I think it was intended to be during HHH's reign of terror, but HHH vs RVD wasn't nearly as big as Brock vs Taker. And for sure at the start of Batista and Cena's reigns, Batista and the WHC were bigger deals.
Basically anytime the WHC has been on Raw, it was the more important title. And outside of the past year and a half or so, if Cena wasn't holding or fighting for the WWE Championship, the WHC was a bigger deal.

What the WWE needs is a dozen Kennys.
Frankly, I would take a dozen Kennys over a dozen Nickys.
Even if Nicky sells and wrestles a hell of a lot better than Kenny ever will.
And at least people still remember Mikey. He's in Ring of Honor. That's still better than Johnny and Mitch. Nobody remembers them.

95 rumble is the best. 2001 is a close second. Early 90's crowds are fun to watch too. lol

This 96 Rumble on the stream is so bad. You can see where people WILL evolve but boy, talk about the 'awkward' stage of growing up. The fucking colors! Jeezus Wrestling.

This one wasn't too offensive to me as the story was basically that Brock could have put Cena down at any point but never even bothered going for a pin as he just enjoyed murdering Cena, then his cockiness was his downfall.
With Dolph it's just Cena eating every piece of offense and having distractions/outside attacks/ref bumps for no fucking reason and still winning.

You may have that confused with 96, now that was an awesome rumble.

Punk better win.
That's all

1995 and early 1996 were bad years, but I thought once they did the Bret-Shawn stuff it began kicking off. The midcard with Austin, Vega, Goldust, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Owen, and Bulldog were a great bunch. Vader and Mankind were coming in then too.

No reason for Punk to win, unless he loses earlier that night. Which he will. So I guess anything is possible!
Warrior/Hogan is still my favorite Rumble Moment. My child mind couldn't contain itself!
"There is not a person sitting down!"
"There is not a person sitting down!"
Advertisements are saying "Rematch" if I read the Wrasslin thread right.
The question would be...
Rematch with Cena or rematch with Punk?

I love the rumbles when they go the distance. I'm a sucker for that.

I would have gone with Brad Maddox but now that he's been shoot-paralyzed I'm shook.

Ryder will find a way.
If he climbs to the top instead of through the ropes, he can get knocked off without even fully entering the ring.
But how can that count? Don't feet need to touch ring?
It was only important when it was the only belt on Raw. So around 2003-2005.
Mysteriously the time HHH was the top dog on RAW.

WWE just make up rules as they go along. They could beat the record if they wanted.

WWE doesn't need to find a logical way, guys. They need to find a WWE(tm) way.
This man gets it.
Maybe Ryder will be the wrestler who doesn't even make it to the ring this year? Someone gets eliminated and they beat him up as he enters.

Ryder gets spot number 30 and spends all night in backstage segments being excited about his huge opportunity... then Mark Henry kills him backstage and takes his place.
Perfection.

Someone needs to fuck over Sin Cara, but a second trampoline in the ring so when he jumps in, he bounces right back the fuck out.
Since Sin Cara botches so much, backstage - tell him he's going to bounce inside the ring and land on the ropes. Then you'll be sure to have him cannonball outside.

The only person on commentary I wouldn't mind seeing draw a number this year is JBL.
Especially if he wears a Bluetooth headset and continues to commentate from the ring.

While I certainly give a ton of credit to his work ethic and promo skills, I also believe a big reason for giant Stone Cold reactions was the glass shattering intro. It really sets a tone very well -- certainly better than the crappy catchphrase intros.
I will always hate the WOO! at the beginning of Flair's theme.

Speaking of The Rocket, I don't know how much any of you are following the "Idle No More" protests here in Canada, but a counter group was started in my city called "Enough is Enough" -- it's pretty much made up with either closet racists or people that are just tremendously ignorant -- and it always reminds me of Owen, haha.
